The effort you put in sometimes does reap the reward you're after.

I've been struck ill with a ghastly flu making me miss out raids for nearly a week. I won't go into any details about that, I just wish you all to not get into touch with it. It sucks, I've never been ill for longer than a couple of days now it's been more than a week.

Yesterday night I knew the regular 10 man team would be short a tank if I didn't show up. Since the doctor said I could take as much aspirine...

I've spent just about the whole Monday evening redesigning my user interface. Allright allright… Perhaps redesign isn't exactly the right word for what I did, but tweaking sounds like too little. I've been wanting to try out this viewport thing for quite a while now, so I decided to finally do the time and sit down to tinkering. Now my avatar might be an engineer, personally I find the process of setting up add ons a rather frustrating one. The goals were to get Grid working and to see if I liked...

So in the start of this week I've had a little discussion with my healers. I set out with a couple of questions about how my gear choices for certain encounters really fit in with their heal tossing. Interestingly enough the general concensus was that apart from equiping a high stamina set for hardmode Northrend Beasts there's actually nothing else they notice. Quite frankly - they say that the more stamina/armor you get the better… Fill that up with some more 'we couldn't care less about avoidance'...

How many times will you run into a wall head first to find out something isn't working?

In the raiding business I am guessing that happens quite a bit. And a lot of times for the right reasons, too. A great deal about learning a certain fight is stabilizing each phase going through the motions and perfecting them. I've seen people compare a raiding team to an orchestra, and that comparison isn't too far off. I like that careful approach to learning a new encounter since it maximises...

This morning I drove to work in the dark and the rain. There's quite a bit of wind and there were leaves blowing, circling in the headlights. I don't know why but it felt sort of magical - rather hard to describe - kind of like watching a little show that was put on just for me. I digress, of course. But well, there's so much to enjoying life. And well - I don't like to discard the little things outright. So I guess writing about them makes em last a little bit longer...

Yesterday...
